The flow is not estimated, but is about
600 barrels per day. The Aucherman

flow was estimated at I 600 barrels per
day. One tank is full, and also there is
n pipe line from the we'll to the $500
barrel tank. Work has been commenced
on the new $500 barrel tank. There
are about ten new buildings being put
up in the town and others started.

Has II Become peu OF Thievesl


The JOURNAL seems to be subject of
never-ceasing war to the Bowling Green
Sentinel. That sheet will have to stretch
its greatness to cover all the crooked
ness snaked into the court house. Has
that political rendezvous become den
of thieves? Donnelly has smelled or
will soon smell mice. Now let the Hon.
VIM. Dunipace and his compeers tell us
why he charges on the tax list from ten
to thirteen cents per yard for ditch
that is worked out clean for six and
eight cents per yard. Give us the items,
gentlemen. The farmers of Wood coun-
ty would like to know where the money
goes. We have paid enough to men
like Donnelly-wasted on whore-mas-
ters, strumpets and drunkards. Let us
see fair weather and q little daylight.
TAXPAYER.
["Taxpayer" can extend his inquiries
much farther. Let him inquire what be
came Of the money raised Oh 1000 OF
bonds sold by the Commissioners in 1884
aside from the taxes raised to the full ex.
tent Of the law-for which the taxpay-
ers are paying the interest and will have
the principal to pay. Let him inquire
al what rate of interest these bonds were
sold, how long they are to run, and why
no mention was made IN the annual repor
OF the Commissioners Of the sale OF tlies'
bonds or what disposition was made oil th'
money received for them. Let him inquire
into the precedent cal ablished by thu
predecessors Of Mr.. Dnnipace for this kline
of business, and there will probably be nj
one greater surprised than he.-ED. JOUR

InstIncts of EIshea.

The theory on which the Fish and Game
Commissioners Of Maine act in restoring
salmon to our rivers, is that the grown fish
VIII return to spawn in the waters where the
fry were placed. For instance, if salmon fry
from hatchery are placed in the headwa-
ters Of the Kennebec river they will, as soon
rs possible, 90 down the river to the sea.
They stay down there for three years or
more, until they are grown to be fair sized
fish. Then, when 1t comes time for them to
spawn, they are expected to seek the head
waters Of the Kennebec, where they were
placed as young fry, and not the headwa-
tiers Of the Saco or Penobscot or any other
river. That instinct should direct the sal
mon on these long journeys seems very re-
markable, but the operations of the Fish
and Game Commissioners Of Maine seem to
show that such is the case. But in Canada
the experience Of those engaged in piscicul-
ture suggests new theory which credits TO
the Instinct OF the salmon much more myste-
rious powers. Some Of the Canadian fish
guardians have given up the long accepted
idea that the salmon will return to the river
In which the fry are placed, and now assert
that the fish goes back instead to the river
whence the parent fish were taken. For liz
instance, If q Penobscot salmon should be
deprived Of its eggs at the Orland hatchery,
and the young fish Matched from those eggs
should be placed in st. Croix waters, as has
been done this season by our Fish Commits
sioners. the instinct of the young fish when
grown, would, according to the Canadian
theory, lead them to seek, not the headwaters
OF the St. Cr0iY Uhara how GroA
selves, bat the waters of the Penobscot
where their parents belonged. Fishing Guar
dian Mowatt, Of Campobello, N. b., bases
this theory on his observations of the SAL
mon of the Restigouche. OF the fry Matched
on the Restigouche he placed year after year
avery large number in the tributaries of
that river, and especially in the Metapedia.
He wished and expected to mako the latter
river first-class salmon river. But, al
though the number Of fish in the main river
greatly increased, the number in the Meta
pedia was much smaller last year than 1t was
several years ago, and of four hundred sal
mon taken In tidal water for the purposes of
the hatchery only four or five were Metape-
dia fish, which may be readily distinguished
Now he viii try the experiment Of putting in
the Metapedia only the fry Of fish that be-
long in the river. Should this result favora-
bly, where the old method has failed, there
will be more reason for believing the Cana
dian theory correct. But so far the expert
ments OF our Fish and Game Commissioners
have confirmed the other theory, while the
experiments on the Restigouche seem alto
gether too incomplete for the deduction Of a
new theory.
